<p>It is for the governing body of a school (or in the case of academies, the academy
trust) to decide rules relating to appearance, including whether there should be a
school uniform, what it will be, and how it is sourced.</p><p>The Department has issued
best practice guidance on school uniform, which emphasises the need for schools to
give highest priority to cost considerations. The guidance sets out that no school
uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable
to apply to, or attend, a school of their choice.</p><p>The Department’s guidance
is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform"
